the three FIRs filed against nodeep are baseless. she’s been targeted for successfully mobilizing workers and labourers in fighting against exploitation and supporting the #farmersprotest
while nodeep is tortured and sexually assaulted in police custody she tells her sister @Rajveer88724 : “please find lawyers to help support the other girls in jail with me”
THIS 👏🏽IS 👏🏽THE👏🏽POWER👏🏽THEY’RE👏🏽AFRAID👏🏽OF👏🏽#ReleaseNodeepKaur

happy birthday nodeep kaur ♥️ it breaks my heart that you were illegally detained on january 12 and have since been held without any due process. you’re spending your birthday inside a jail cell.
your crime? that you had the bravery to fight against exploitation in a country that criminalizes dissent. you fought for the rights of labourers. it breaks my heart to think of the torture and sexual abuse you are enduring in police custody.
i first posted this video on nov 29 2020. back then many of these faces were new to me. i was drawn to the song they were singing. perhaps my favourite from the #farmersprotest

many have asked what more they can do for the #farmersprotest. we’ve been told by human rights orgs that raising awareness on social media is most effective in this situation. it is pertinent that we keep bringing international attention to this!!!!!
posting on socials may feel small but it IS action. doesn’t matter if you have 10 followers or 10,000- EVERY voice makes a difference. don't diminish the power of awareness. speak loudly and proudly my friends. ✊🏽 we’re on the right side of history.
let’s also keep focused: modi’s 3 farm bills will corporatize agriculture and millions will lose their livelihoods. months ago punjabis marched to delhi in what has now become the largest protest in the world. across india ppl organized the biggest strike in human history.

farmers and farm workers started the most powerful revolution to ever challenge modi’s fascist government. our people started protesting in punjab as early as july 2020. they marched to delhi november 27 and have been sleeping on the streets since. #farmersprotest

your voice will help save lives of protesters on the ground #FarmersProtest
this is the biggest protest in the world. millions are protesting a fascist govt’s corporate takeover.
protesters are facing brutal human rights abuses and journalists are being abducted. women are being sexually assaulted by police and mobs.
while bollywood celebrities and most diasporic south asians with platforms continues to be silent @rihanna shows the world once again: what true leadership looks like. rihanna be doing more for human rights than entire governments 😭😭😭

on january 12—haryana police abducted nodeep kaur from her tent at singhu protest. since then she has been beaten & sexually assaulted while under police custody.

nodeep is 23 yold punjabi dalit woman & trade union activist who has been bravely speaking up about the protests.
“we come from a village to earn, we are dalit, we are women. i am a student. there is a class difference, even the police attack a labourer like tyrants. there is a class issue.”

- nodeep’s sister rajveer kaur

sabrangindia.in/article/why-wa…
nodeep’s case is emblematic of both the treatment of dalit activists and the custodial violence that’s taken place against punjabi women by indian security forces ranging from the 1980s to now.

india commonly uses police abduction to silence activism and protest.
